Crimson Crane

This wall art is carefully processed and framed from a high quality kimono obi, which is full of the skills of Japanese craftsmen.

The kimono obi framed in this Japanese art is decorated with a very auspicious fan and crane pattern. As the expression "spreading out like an open fan" suggests, a fan has the meaning of "prosperity" and "good luck". For this reason, the fan pattern on kimono has been a symbol of happiness in Japan since ancient times. Since Cranes are believed to live for 1,000 years, it symbolizes "vitality" and "longevity". Also, cranes are believed to bring "marital bliss" because they stay with the same partner for the rest of their lives.

The crane on this kimono obi are especially popular with ORIGAMI. The origami crane is a symbol of "peace", and is associated with "pray for long life and happiness". In Japan, there is a culture of collecting 1,000 of these origami cranes and sending them to areas hit by natural disasters or to people who are vulnerable to illness.

We hope you will incorporate this lucky wall art into your daily life. Also, if you know someone who is suffering from a disaster, illness, or injury, why not give it to them as a gift with a message of "pray for disaster" or "healing from illness"?
